"And frankly we have not yet decided at our level whether we're going to recommend revocation of the permit based on that new revelation of information," said Douglas.

Douglas said another permit revocation hearing could be held if Poseidon does not amend their application.

"And we think that there's nothing new or nothing that has changed in terms of the greenhouse gas plan that would require an amendment to our permit," said Scott Maloni with Poseidon Resources. "They're going to be hard-pressed to find grounds for revocation on the greenhouse gas plan."

Coastal Commissioner Esther Sanchez of Oceanside voted to reject the revocation request, but she said Poseidon Resources should work more closely with the state Coastal Commission.

"I encourage Poseidon to be as transparent and to work with staff, work with us, there's no reason for delays," said Sanchez.

Coastal Commission Executive Director Peter Douglas says he'll take action at a future meeting that could lead to a staff recommendation to revoke the development permit.
